Neither is oil but that seems to upset a few. Same thing, lots of other jobs out there, isn’t the reassurance you think is. Right?Plenty of work is available in the trades. The opportunities are out there.

The world will need oil long after the assembly lines of GTA are gone.
Either way, nothing is forever. Adapt or die.
Apparently not Alberta oil though it would seem. The US is wrong to that. Plenty of future EVs for out of work oil patch types. Battery plants etc.
Alberta will be fine.

Clearly you're being sarcastic, but the reality is, selling more soy, canola, and seafood to China doesn't make them more or less of a threat to us.
Allowing in a few thousand Chinese EVs isn't a massive security threat. OnStar is tracking my every move in the truck, and Googe does them same then goes one step further and listens to me constantly.
We had cut many trade links with China as an act of solidarity with America. America is now putting the screws to us(and pretty much everyone else), so it makes perfect sense to back-off on some of our trade restrictions with China. That doesn't make China a trusted partner, it makes them a customer.

Oh I wasn't.
I'm genuinely curious if China's threat to Canada improved and they're safer, or if they're just as bad, just that the US is worse.
Maybe I need to better understand what Carney meant by "biggest security threat to Canada".

Are they legally liable to provide information to their government on demand?
Buying a Chinese-made EV is a bet that China isn't going to attack Taiwan for as long as the buyer thinks he's going to own the car. If China attacks Taiwan, I can guess that the dealer network is going to collapse, the parts inventory is going to quickly run down, the resale value is going to plummet, and there will be acts of vandalism - with the potential for fires - which cause property owners to refuse to allow Chinese-made EVs into their parkades, parking lots, etc.

The world will need oil.
It wont need workers.
Alberta's oilpatch cut 10,000 jobs last year — even as production soared
The province produced about 122 million barrels of oil in 2011. Last year, Alberta produced nearly 1.4 billion barrels of oil by November.

Every bit of efficiency found is one less worker.

I’d be happy with just killing off any Stellantis plant. Those are just terrible, terrible products.

Utterly wrong. If that were true, the 80% of the population which used to work in agriculture and has been reduced to something like 2-3% would all be jobless right now.
Displaced workers will find other employment as long as entrepreneurs are not stifled from innovating and venturing.
Canada is still a seller's market for labour.

You can at least explain why you think special rules should apply for the fighter jet purchase that clearly do not exist for any other procurement program.

I could, but I have no interest in engaging in endless discussions about that again. I think that was a topic of discussion for a few days here, and frankly, I have zero desire to rehash that.

This is sure to make Liberals happy.
That $750M dropped to $248M quick.
There's only enough to cover 136,000 guns. Which is funny when you consider there's at least 95,000 AR15 model firearms alone.
Most owners of prohibited firearms are fucked for compensation. They get to turn in their firearms for $0 or become criminals.
Ottawa unveils next steps in its national gun buyback program. Here are the details

Almost like the government short changed the compensation on purpose to try and drive up FOMO.

Don't be fooled, saving face is the tactic here. They lose support they can't afford to lose in Quebec if they cancel this colossal albatross around their necks.
Sure. Doesn’t stop them from employing a panic tactic to get people to turn their firearms in though. Get your money now or never type thing.
That is what crossed my mind.
